2023 Fantasy Outlook
Porter played at Penn State for four years and tallied 77 tackles (60 solo), an interception and 15 pass defenses over his final two collegiate seasons. The 6-3, 193-pounder faced some concerns about his ability to cover downfield without drawing the attention of the refs while with the Nittany Lions, but in the Steelers' scheme, he'll likely have his tasks fine-tuned to his strengths such that it should be a close to an ideal fit. Porter should compete for a starting role ahead of the coming season and his talent makes him an intriguing secondary piece as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Prepping for immediate role
The Steelers are hoping Porter wins the starting left corner job ahead of Week 1 of the regular season, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Porter was often projected to be a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, though the Steelers ultimately selected him with the first pick of the second round. He's battled with second-year receiver George Pickens throughout training camp and also managed an interception in Saturday's preseason win over the Bills. Pittsburgh is hoping Porter proves ready to be an immediate starter, as that would allow the team to use Patrick Peterson in a hybrid safety role rather than as a traditional corner.
